                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02587
            INDEX NUMBER:  135.00
      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  None

      XXXXXXX    HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

She be considered for promotion to the grade of lieutenant colonel  by
Special Selection Board (SSB) beginning with the Calendar  Year  2002B
(CY02B) Lieutenant Colonel Central Selection Board.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) approved corrections to her
Officer Performance Reports (OPRs) closing 5 Apr 02 and   5 Apr 03  by
changing the phrase “Intermediate Service  School”  (ISS)  to  “Senior
Service School” (SSS) in Blocks VI and VII.  However they  denied  her
request for promotion consideration by SSB.  In  her  discussion  with
the records reviewer following her promotion board, she was advised to
get the corrections made to these two OPRs because the  recommendation
for ISS in her recent OPRs could appear confusing and give an  unclear
picture of her accomplishments/experience.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy  of  the  ERAB
decision and copies of the corrected OPRs.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is  at  Exhibit
A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered active duty in the Air Force on 5 Apr  85.   She
has five nonselections to the grade of  lieutenant  colonel  beginning
with the CY00A promotion board.  A review of her OPRs of record during
these boards indicates overall ratings of “Meets Standards.”  On 7 Jun
04, the ERAB partially approved an appeal submitted by  the  applicant
to correct her OPRs closing 5 Apr 02 and 5 Apr 03.  The ERAB corrected
the applicant’s OPRs to reflect a recommendation  for  SSS  vice  ISS.
They denied the applicant’s requests to add stratification to her OPRs
and to be considered for promotion by SSB.

_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPPO recommends denial of the applicant’s request for  promotion
consideration by SSB.  There is no clear evidence  the  incorrect  PME
recommendations  on  her  OPRs  negatively  impacted   her   promotion
opportunity.  Central boards evaluate  the  entire  officer  selection
record,  assessing  factors  such  as  job  performance,  professional
qualities, depth and breadth of experience, etc.  The selection  board
had the applicant’s entire selection record that clearly outlined  her
accomplishments since she came on active duty.  Additionally, although
the PME recommendations on the two OPRs were  subsequently  corrected,
her Promotion Recommendation Forms for  the  CY02B  and  CY03A  boards
correctly reflected “SSS.”  Therefore, they believe the Board was able
to distinguish  between  the  incorrect  PME  recommendations  on  the
contested OPRs and the correct data on her PRFs and previous OPRs.

AFPC/DPPPO provides copies of  the  applicant’s  referenced  PRFs  and
Officer Selection Briefs for the CY02B and CY03A promotion boards.

The complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 8
Oct 04 for review and comment within 30 days.  To date, a response has
not been received.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law
or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate
the  existence  of  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and  adopt  their  rationale  as  the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence  to  the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of material error  or  injustice;  that  the
application was denied without a personal  appearance;  and  that  the
application will only be reconsidered upon  the  submission  of  newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

    The rater and additional rater of the contested OPR provide statements contending that the correct PME level on the report should have been for SSS rather than ISS. The OPR closing 23 Jun 97 recommends SSS in residence. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant altering the 23 Jun 96 OPR to reflect a PME recommendation of “SSS” rather than “ISS” and granting SSB consideration for the CY99A selection board.

    However, Air Force policy does not allow for decorations with close out dates or approval dates after the convening of the board to be filed in a member’s record. In addition, because of the closeout date of his MSM (2OLC) (7 August 2003), there is no basis to favorably consider his request for consideration of this award by the CY02B and CY03A lieutenant colonel selection boards. Finally, since there is no indication in the available evidence that the applicant’s record of performance...
